For present investigation Fe/MgO/Fe/Co multilayer stack is grown on Si substrate using e-beam evaporation in ultrahigh vacuum. This stack is irradiated perpendicularly by 120 MeV $Ag^{8+}$ at different fluences ranging from $1{\times}10^{11}$ to $1{\times}10^{13}ions/cm^2$ in high vacuum using 15UD Pelletron Accelerator at Inter University Accelerator Centre, New Delhi. Magnetic measurements carried out on pre and post irradiated stacks show significant changes in the shape of perpendicular hysteresis which is relevant with previous observation of re-orientation of magnetic moment along the direction of ion trajectory. However increase in plane squareness may be due to the modification of interface structure of stacks. X-ray reflectivity measurements show onset of interface roughness and interface mixing. X-ray diffraction measurements carried out using synchrotron radiation shows amorphous nature of MgO and Co layer in the stack. Peak corresponding body centered Fe [JCPDS-06-0696] is observed in X-ray diffraction pattern of pre and post irradiated stacks. Peak broadening shows granular nature of Fe layer. Estimated crystallite size is $22{\pm}1nm$ for pre-irradiated stack. Crystallite size first increases with irradiation then decreases. Structural quality of these stacks was further studied using transmission electron microscopic measurements. Thickness from these measurements are 54, 36, 23, 58 and 3 nm respectively for MgO, Fe, MgO, Fe+Co and Au layers in the stack. These measurements envisage poor crystallinity of different layers. Interfaces are not clear which indicate mixing at interface. With increase fluence mixing and diffusion was increased in the stack. X-ray absorption spectroscopic measurements carried out on these stacks show changes of Fe valence state after irradiation along with change of O(2p)-metal (3d) hybridized state. Valence state change predicts oxide formation at interface which causes enhanced in-plane magnetization.

제올라이트 메소라이트($Na_{5.33}Ca_{5.33}Al_{16}Si_{24}O_{80}{\cdot}21.33H_2O$)에 대한 고압에서의 회절자료가 200 마이크론 크기로 단색화 된 방사광가속기 X-선원과 다이아몬드 앤빌셀을 사용하여 5 GPa까지 측정되었다. 물과 알코올을 사용한 수압 하에서 메소라이트의 초기 탄성 특성은 0.5 GPa에서 1.5 GPa 사이에서 일어나는 ab-평면의 연속적인 팽창과 c-축 상의 수축에 기인한 전체적인 격자부피의 팽창으로 관찰된다. 이후의 압력에서는 회절패턴의 변화로부터 질서-무질서 전이의 증거가 보여진다. 메소라이트의 c-축에 평행한 채널에는 양이온으로서 소디움과 칼슘이 b-축 방향으로 1:2 비율의 질서 있는 배열을 보이고 있는데 이로 인해 1.5 GPa까지 에서는 이러한 배열의 증거인 $3b_{natrolite}$ 격자패턴이 관찰된다. 격자부피의 확장 이후 1.5 GPa 이상에서 2.5 GPa 까지 에서는 격자부피 변화의 정도가 약해지며, 양이온의 무질서적인 배열에 의한 $b_{natrolite}$ 격자패턴이 관찰된다. 이후 압력의 계속된 증가는 점진적인 격자부피의 감소를 유발시키며 새로운 형태의 질서 있는 배열상을 지시하는 $3c_{natrolite}$ 격자패턴으로의 변화를 보여준다. 이로부터 압력에 의한 초수화 상태의 메소라이트는 질서-무질서-질서 형태의 채널 내부 혹은 채널간의 양이온 배열패턴 변화를 겪는 것으로 추정할 수 있다.

고온-고압 상태에서 티탄철석 ($FeTiO_3$)의 상변이에 대한 연구가 있었으나, 그 결과는 서로 일치하지 않고 있다. 특히, 티탄철석상과 페롭스카이트상의 상변이 경계는 담금방법에 의해 결정된 것으로 신뢰도에 의문이 제기되고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, 고온-고압 현장상태에서 라지 볼륨 기기와 방사광을 이용하여 19 GPa와 $700^{\circ}C$의 범위에서 X선 회절실험을 시행하였다. 이러한 실험결과, 페롭스카이트상은 상온에서 16 CPa 이상의 압력에서 안정하며, 15 CPa 근처에서 $LiNbO_3$상으로 변이한다. 또한 이 두 고온-고압상은 $500^{\circ}C$에서는 순간적인 상변이를 하고 있다. $LiNbO_3$상은 각각 13 CPa 및 300'E와 10.8 GPa 및 400'E에서 티탄철석상으로 상변이 한다. 따라서 본 실험결과는 $LiNbO_3$상은 고온-고압하에서 안정 영역을 확보하고 있으며, 페롭스카이트-티탄철석상경계는 이전에 발표된 결과와는 매우 다르다는 것을 지시해주고 있다.

Here we report the influence of thermal treatment on the performance of high efficiency polymer solar cells with the bulk heterojunction films of poly[4,8-bis(5-(2-ethylhexyl)thiophen-2-yl)benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b'] dithiophene-alt-3-fluorothieno[3,4-b]thiophene-2-carboxylate] (PTB7-Th) and [6,6]-phenyl $C_{71}$ butyric acid methyl ester ($PC_{71}BM$). The crystalline nanostructure of PTB7-Th:$PC_{71}BM$ layers, which were annealed at three different temperatures, was investigated by employing synchrotron radiation grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXD) technique. Results showed that the device performance was slightly reduced by thermal annealing at $50^{\circ}C$ but became significantly poor by thermal annealing at $100^{\circ}C$. The poor device performance by thermal annealing was attributed to the collapse in the crystalline nanostructure of PTB7-Th in the PTB7-Th:$PC_{71}BM$ layers as evidenced by the GIXD measurements that exhibited huge reduction in the intensity of PTB7-Th (100) peak even at $50^{\circ}C$.

Two single crystals of fully dehydrated partially $Li^+$-exchanged zeolite X were prepared by the exchange of Na-X, $Na_{92}Si_{100}Al_{92}O_{384}$ (Si/Al = 1.09), with $Li^+$ using aqueous 0.1 M $LiNO_3$ at 293 (crystal 1) and 333 K(crystal 2), followed by vacuum dehydration at 623 K and $1{\times}10^{-6}$ Torr for 2 days. Their structures were determined by single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction techniques in the cubic space group $Fd{\overline{3}}$ at 100(1) K. Their structures were refined using all intensities to the final error indices (using the 1281 and 883 reflections for which ($F_o$ > $4{\sigma}(F_o)$) $R_1/R_2$ = 0.075/0.244 and 0.074/0.223 for crystals 1 and 2, respectively. Their compositions are seen to be ${\mid}Li_{86}Na_6{\mid}[Si_{100}Al_{92}O_{384}]$-FAU and ${\mid}Li_{87}Na_5{\mid}[Si_{100}Al_{92}O_{384}]$-FAU, respectively. In crystal 1, 17 $Li^+$ ions per unit cell are at site I', 15 another site I', 30 at site II, and the remaining 16 at site III; 2 $Na^+$ ions are at site II and the remaining 4 at site III'. In crystal 2, 32 and 30 $Li^+$ ions per unit cell fill sites I' and II, respectively, and the remaining 25 at site III'; 2 and 3 $Na^+$ ions are found at sites II and III', respectively. The extent of $Li^+$ exchange increases slightly with increasing ion exchange temperature from 93% to 95%.

The methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase/cyclohydrolase (MTHFDC) from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum is a 30.6kDa molecular-mass enzyme that sequentially catalyzes the conversion of formyltetrahydrofollate to methylenetetrahydrofolate, with a preference for NADP as a cofactor, rather than NAD. In order to elucidate the functional and structural features of MTHFDC from archaeons at a molecular level, it was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and crystallized in the presence of its cofactor, NADP, at 295K using polyethylene glycol (PEG) 4000 as a precipitant. The crystal is a member of the monoclinic space group $P2_1$, with the following unit cell parameters: $a=66.333{\AA},\;b=52.868{\AA},\;c=86.099{\AA},\;and\;{\beta}=97.570^{\circ}$, and diffracts to a resolution of at least $2.40{\AA}$ at the synchrotron. Assuming a dimer in the crystallographic asymmetric unit, the calculated Matthews parameter $(V_M)\;was\;2.44{\AA}^3/Da$ and the solvent content was 49.7%.

C-S-H(I)은 활성슬래그시멘트의 강도생성의 핵심물질이며 시멘트 수화물의 강도원천물질인 C-S-H의 구조모델로 사용되어 왔기 때문에, 나노 수준의 콘크리트 연구 분야에서는 세계적으로 아주 중요한 물질로 다루어지고 있다. 이러한 C-S-H(I)에서 발생되는 Si에 대한 Al 치환은 C-S-H(I)의 분자구조변경을 인위적으로 할 수 있다는 점에서 주목되어 왔고, C-S-H(I)의 기계적 물성치 (예, bulk modulus)에도 큰 영향을 미칠 것이라고 예상되어 왔었다. 그러나 본 연구를 통해 이러한 Al 치환이 실제로는 C-S-H(I)의 bulk modulus에는 거의 영향을 미치지 못함이 밝혀졌다.

The effect of temperature on the structure change of the SH of myosin head have been investigated with improved resolution by x-ray diffraction using synchrotron radiation. The movement of myosin head and conformational change of contractile molecules were occurred in the muscle contraction. IASL (iodo acetamide) and MSL (maleimide) disordered the orderly helix arrangement of myosin in the rest state of spin level. The temperature effect on the structure change was great at the UL in the equatorial reflection. But those of IASL and MSL were minor. Equatorial reflection (10, 11) change inferred that myosin head was moved to the vicinity of actin filament by temperature change (from $25^{\circ}C$ to $0^{\circ}C$) at UL, but spin level was not changed. The intensity change of 143 $\AA$ and 72 $\AA$ could offer information of the mass profection of population of myosin heads along the filament axis. The slope of intensity profile of the mass profection of 143$\AA$ and reflection of MSL is appeared sharply and those of UL and IASL were not changed. The decrease of MSL actin reflection at 51 $\AA$ and 59 $\AA$ in the actin reflection change refers that the shifted myosin head binds a certain actin or changes an actin structure. From these results, we could conclude that IASL and MSL were spin labeled on SH of myosin head and disordered the helix arrangement of actin.

A highly thermostable xylose isomerase from Thermus thermophilus has been expressed in Escherichia coli and crystallized. The purified enzyme shows its optimum temperature at $90^{\circ}C$. It has been crystallized at room temperature using polyethylene glycol 4000 as the precipitant. The crystal belongs to the orthorhombic space group $P2_12_12_1$, with unit cell parameters of a = 73.34 ${\AA}$, b = 144.05 ${\AA}$, c = 155.07 ${\AA}$. The presence of one molecule of tetrameric xylose isomerase in the asymmetric unit gives a crystal volume per protein mass ($V_m$) of 2.32 ${\AA}^3/Da$ and the solvent content of 47.0% by volume. The diffraction pattern extends to 1.9 ${\AA}$ Bragg spacing with synchrotron radiation and a set of native data has been collected to 2.3 ${\AA}$.

The dielectric properties and phase transformation of poled <001>-oriented $Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-x%PbTiO_3$(PMN-x%PT) single crystals with compositions of x = 20, 30, and 35 mole% are investigated for orientations both parallel and perpendicular to the [001] poling direction. An electric-field-induced monoclinic phase was observed for the initial poled PMN-30PT and PMN-35PT samples by means of high-resolution synchrotron x-ray diffraction. The monoclinic phase appears from $-25^{\circ}C$ to $100^{\circ}C$ and from $-25^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$ for the PMN-30PT and PMN-35PT samples, respectively. The dielectric constant (${\varepsilon}$)-temperature (T) characteristics above the Curie temperature were found to be described by the equation$(1/{\varepsilon}-1/{\varepsilon}_m)^{1/n}=(T-T_m)/C$, where ${\varepsilon}_m$ is the maximum dielectric constant and $T_m$ is the temperature giving ${\varepsilon}_m$, and n and C are constants that change with the composition. The value of n was found to be 1.82 and 1.38 for 20PT and 35PT, respectively. The results of mesh scans and the temperature-dependence of the dielectric constant demonstrate that the initial monoclinic phase changes to a single domain tetragonal phase and a to paraelectric cubic phase. In the ferroelectric tetragonal phase with a single domain state, the dielectric constant measured perpendicular to the poling direction was dramatically higher than that measured in the parallel direction. A large dielectric constant implies easier polarization rotation away from the polar axis. This enhancement is believed to be related to dielectric softening close to the morphotropic phase boundary.
